Well, one thing to make sure of is that you do not install the version
of traits that ships with matplotlib, since it will break other
enthought packages.  My understanding is that one either uses the
default rc config or the traits enabled one.  Since the latter is
experimental and we are not sure if we will eventually adopt it, I
would not recommend enabling it in the debian distro.  Is this your
view Darren?
